Hung out with Batigol in Argentina and now stuck in quarantine?

[Lastrador]

Hey Maxi, I’m not one to judge others picks, but surely you could do better than Vardy and Woodgate with your second and third picks.

[Hazell]

Will make my pick shortly, Nick can go.

I wish I’d been in Buenos Aires, unfortunately I’ve been in Leek near Stoke.

You got to trust the process. I have a plan and I am gonna execute it.

You have to select players from 11 teams. I have 3 quality players from three unfashionable teams. I know I will get quality players from big six teams regardless.

United players are always gonna be tough…..so might as well just go most hated nice and early

[Hazell]

Have to say, for me it's Rooney who's the best Premier League player of all time, although we're not supposed to say that are we?

I think it was a bit premature to nominate Salah as the best until he's single-handely led a second-best team to a Premier League title, which Rooney did at least once, but you could argue three times considering all the pedestrians in their midfield and on right back. That Man United have won no titles after him just proves that. United without Rooney during the big four days though would've been a solid third-place team with Chelsea and Rafa cleaning the trophies up.

For me, the 2020 title was more on the team as a unit more than anything with Virgil as the star man.

Rooney above Henry and Salah? Wow

He had two world-class seasons and then was solid if unspectacular the other years before his belly caught up with him. I didn't have to think twice to choose Lampard over him.

[Linudden]

I've given Sangria my list of the next round, doubt I'll have internet tomorrow morning.

[El Lobo]

[Linudden]

I'm happy also for you Lobo, must've been an emotional evening for you Always great to see your mates do well!

[Sarge]

I'm a bit off in the list so nyone about tomorrow to post my picks, close together so not a long wait when its my turn, i'll be home by 6 tomorrow evening if it is close to my turn.

[vivabobbygraham]

"Players judged at their PL peak"

I'm playing him on the wing where he scored 31 goals in 34 games whilst winning the title. From that position "only Salah" can match that

One season wonder then...

Or has Hazell been hacked?

[vivabobbygraham]

You’d be doing badly to be unhappy with your first two picks in an all time PL draft.

Although I’m not jumping for joy with mine.

You're such an arse today, Nicky my boy. What's up? Max Verstappen fan?

Anyone?

[Linudden]

Anyone?

With me being stuck in an internezzo I doubt I'm a good choice!

Also Bobby should please pick to make me be able to get mine before I need help

[Crosby Nick]

Who?

I’m not an arse today. No more than normal! My quest to build a team of midgets continues.

Just contemplating mate. I shall pick shortly. What times lights out for you?

[vivabobbygraham]

Anyone?

I’ll give it a go Sarge

[El Lobo]

It’s another of Linuddens alter egos. I did suspect when the only thing he was ever sensible about was office quotes.

[Sarge]

I’ll give it a go Sarge

Sound ill send them in a bit.

Half time at Pittsburgh-Baltimore mate! Sweden is +1 hour from England

[Sarge]

Half time at Pittsburgh-Baltimore mate!

Thats that throwing egg ball thingy that for some reason people call football, never got my head around that.

It's easy for Europeans, it's just 'american football'

[Drinks Sangria]

As it’s back to work I will actually be on it tomorrow!

Mascherano - I couldn’t decide between him and Fabinho, went Fab in the end due to aerial supremacy and recency bias/ LFC trophy cabinet, but what a player Masch was. Shame he left the way he did but there’s something about a move to Barcelona for the South Americans that makes them act like twats temporarily.

[Linudden]

Not many minutes left for me now Bobby mate

[Linudden]

Cheers mate, I've sealed my centre back pairing. Quite a commanding one if you ask me

[vivabobbygraham]

I picked Pires over a few good alternatives. Rich pickings at Arsenal like but I needed a proper left winger for Didier to work with who could also drop into midfield when needed. Boss combo. And then there's Stevie of course. Cooking on gas.

For me, Pirès is probably the most underrated player ever to grace the Premier League. He was elegance personified but somehow never got the credit he deserved. Third round is about fair but what's sad is that the kids today have no clue even who he was.

There’s a few in here who remember pires fondly. Good to know you do too and that I can count on your vote along with Sarge. Nice swan👏

[Drinks Sangria]

To me, after Henry, Bergkamp and Vieira, Pires was the next best player in the best ever Arsenal team. He was absolute quality and so smooth on the ball.
